I feel bad for Marsh. Indiana fans saying Ohio State got lucky. If he stays in bounds Ohio State fans say Indiana got lucky.

It's a bad take either way. Both teams deserved to lose. Horrible execution and countless mistakes.

Officiating was horrific both ways as well.

This is a good take. Both teams made mistakes and had questionable calls go their way, seems like the better team edged out the win at the end of day

OSU’s defense is filthy. Indiana’s defense is filthy. Hoover probably isn’t the guy. Sayin has trouble under pressure but he’s definitely improved over last season. OSU can win even if Smith is taken out of the game for the most part (but he’ll still get his). OSU is going to be in bad shape if Sayin is out for any length of time.

Ive seen Sayin play scared before but I have no idea what this was today. Even when he had a clean pocket, he missed receivers by 20 feet.

He spent the whole game last week getting blasted from his blind side, so that definitely affected his confidence today. It didn’t help that he was constantly pressured right in front of his face.

What was weird is that he was so efficient on the opening drive and looked locked in. Once he took the first hit it started coming apart

I don’t think he plays scared, he’s just not accurate. He underthrows and overthrows.
